What?

I still don't see the point of buying an album on iTunes as apposed to just buying the CD.

How boring.

I don't use CD players. I haven't in years. If i buy a cd, the first thing I do is rip it to my pc/mac.

At least I was right; no iPhone nano. Thank Christ for that.

8 hour battery life on the new 17" MBP.

Pity it's only one configuration. 2.66GHz

Yeah same here... but I like to have the original CD.

Thought there was a 2.93GHz according to the stream I was watching.

I only get Cds are presents, because it's nice to have something physical instead of a voucher code, but still..the majority of my music is bought digitally now.

Also comes with this option:

The MacRumours disaster would be the only thing of any note.

Macrumors failiure really is the biggest thing now that the event has finished.

Intrestingly, http://www.macrumorslive.com/admin/ is still open for public viewing, despite a correct .htaccess that should block it.

 

[chrisxuk]

http://www.macrumourslive.com/admin/ doesn't work for me

Seen the price of the new software? £69 ! HE discount halves it though, which is nice.

 

[Deleted member 651465]

Ahhh right, only read the Engadget stream.

Next time they bump the MBPs I'll consider a 17" again, but can't say it's enough to sway me, iPhoto looked about the most interesting thing in the keynote tbh.

What's up with the Mac box? Surely it's only aimed at those still using everything pre-Leopard??

A shame HE discount doesn't half everything else though. However, some discount is better than none

 

[Maccy]

Generally disappointing, and I can see that the battery idea is going to happen with all future MacBooks which isn't a good thing

 

[Cannaton]

For a keynote apparantly "All about Mac" that was very disapointing in terms of upgrades.

 

[Deleted member 651465]

At least this will introduce the general population to tracks of lesser-crap.

At the moment Joe Public is willing to accept 128kbps MP3, which should be punishable by death tbh

CD ripping in a lossless format is the only way for me but at least Apple is improving it with iTunes plus
